Hi Derick <br><br>This link was blank when I launched it <br><a href="http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/List_of_projects_by_system_requirements/" target="_blank">http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/List_of_projects_by_system_requirements/</a><br>
<br><br>I found a older client that does run (it installs using TAR and CHMOD cmds). Not very meaningful without the GUI. boinc_client gets installed but the GUI does not. When I call boinc_client all I can do is watch it create xml , projects and slots directories, and see the process taking CPU on the resource monitor. <br>
<br>Looks like I am stuck withou a GUI unless I can find the source to boinc_manager.<br><br>the link below gives me a failed redirection page in german.<br><br>

I will keep trying to find source for boinc_manager on the PPC Linux, then return for more help (punishment :) ) to test soluions.<br>

Hi Paul!<br>
<br>
First, yum is always run from superuser. You can also run it using<br>
sudo but you have to have modified your sudoers file enabling your<br>
user name to have the same status to access and implement root level<br>
commands for a limited amount of time.<br>
<br>
Second, please look carefully on this page:<br>
<a href="http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/List_of_projects_by_system_requirements/" target="_blank">http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/List_of_projects_by_system_requirements/</a><br>
<br>
Notice the operating system columns please notice that although there<br>
is a version of their software running for the PowerPC under the Mac<br>
operating system; the software versions they offer is only for x86 or<br>
Intel based Linux variants. YDL is a PowerPC based Linux only.<br>
<br>
This means that you cannot used their pre-packaged version of their<br>
software.<br>
<br>
However, I did find the page which contains their source which you<br>
can download, uncompress, compile and install within YDL. That page<br>
is here: <a href="http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/sah_porting.php/" target="_blank">http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/sah_porting.php/</a><br>
<br>
If you, need further assistance -- write back.<br>
<br>
Here's a better resource. You'll have to still download, compile<br>
and install the source youself but a lot of the other requisite<br>
work has been done for you. Refer to this site:<br>
<a href="http://www.dotsch.de/boinc/BOINC%20Clients.html/" target="_blank">http://www.dotsch.de/boinc/BOINC%20Clients.html/</a><br>
<br>
All the best...<br>
<br>
